A Note on Music Part II

Music is my first love for so many reasons. One of the most prominent, however, is probably because it helps me write. It can be difficult to unroll these feelings into simple black and white and text. When sitting in a quiet room they often are too raw. Emotions won't readily form themselves into words because they are not fluid enough. Comfort is found in my heart and mind, they know they are safe in those locations, and don't want to leave.

Music liquefies them.

It is a bit Pied Piper-esque really, but with a bit more voluntary behavior. These thoughts and ideas that were once so afraid to leave the place in which they were conceived melt a little. Swirl around together, become a shining stream of words that can smoothly flow onto the screen. Even in those moments I feel least inclined to write a particularly talented song can begin the melting, thus creating the need to release the now fluid sentiments. Such instances are truly cherished, including this one. Tonight's song culprit is "I Won't" by Colbie Caillat.
